Resumo
O provável fator de início de tradução 5A (eIF5A) é altamente conservado de arqueas a mamíferos e sofre uma modificação pós-traducional única e essencial, em que uma lisina específica é convertida em um resíduo de hipusina. Este fator já foi relacionado ao transporte nucleocitoplasmático, à degradação de mRNA e à proliferação celular. Dados recentes restabelecem uma função para eIF5A na tradução e sugerem a sua atuação na etapa de elongação ao invés de início, como originalmente proposto. Uma vez que o envolvimento de eIF5A com o degradação de mRNA ainda não foi elucidado, tornou-se interessante estudar qual a natureza desta relação. O metabolismo de mRNA é um processo complexo que envolve as etapas da tradução (mRNAs nos polissomos), repressão da tradução (mRNAs acumulados em grânulos de estresse) e degradação de mRNA (mRNAs nos P bodies). Os componentes da maquinaria de degradação de mRNA acumulam-se nos P bodies e, neste trabalho, foi verificado que eIF5A não se localiza nestes corpúsculos. Ainda, foi avaliada a formação de P bodies no mutante tif51A-3, na temperatura não permissiva (38ºC), e foi verificada uma inibição na formação de P bodies. Outros mutantes com defeitos na elongação da tradução, como cca1-1 e eft2H699K, também apresentaram defeito na agregação dos P bodies. Foi avaliada a existência de interação genética sintética entre os mutantes tif51A-1 e tif51A-3 e mutantes de fatores envolvidos com a repressão da tradução e/ou degradação de mRNA. Foi revelada uma supressão parcial do fenótipo de termossensibilidade com nocautes dos genes SBP1, DHH1 e PAT1, que codificam fatores ativadores da remoção do capacete e repressores da tradução. Por outro lado, uma interação sintético doente entre os mutantes tif51A-1 e xrn1Δ foi...
The putative translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is highly conserved from archaea to mammals and undergoes an unique and essential post-translational modification, in which a specific lysine residue is converted into a hypusine residue. This factor has been involved in several cellular processes such as nucleocytoplasmic transport, mRNA decay and cell proliferation. Recent data have re-established a function for eIF5A in translation and suggests a role in elongation rather than initiation as originally proposed. Since the involvement of eIF5A with mRNA decay has not been elucidated it has become interesting to study the aspects of this relationship. mRNA metabolism is a complex process that involves the steps of translation (mRNAs on the polysomes), translation repression (mRNAs accumulated in granules) and mRNA degradation (mRNAs in P bodies). The mRNA degradation machinery accumulates in P bodies and in this study we have verified that eIF5A is not localized inside them. P bodies assembly was evaluated in the tif51A-3 mutant at non-permissive temperature and this aggregation was inhibited. Other mutant strains with defects in translation elongation, such as cca1-1 e eft2H699K, also presented defective P body assembly. The existence of synthetic genetic interactions between the eIF5A mutants, tif51A-1 and tif51A-3, and translation repression and/or mRNA decay mutants was evaluated. A partial suppression of the temperature sensitive phenotype of the eIF5A mutants was revealed when SBP1, DHH1 and PAT1 genes were deleted. Since those proteins are decapping activators and translational repressors these interactions reveal a putative function for eIF5A as an inhibitor of translation repression. However, a synthetic sick phenotype between tif51A-1 and xrn1Δ mutants was observed. Finally, stress granules... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
